<br />I <br /> <br />On Green Mountain, the slide gates repair, <br />which some of you may be aware of and some may <br />not, has been completed. That has been in pro- <br />gress all winter there. We took the opportunity <br />to draw the reservoir down and make the repair, <br />or to inspect and repair and service the slide <br />gates which had not been examined or touched since <br />their installation in about 1935 or 36, somewhere <br />along in there. The storage in the reservoir <br />was resumed in March and is going on at the <br />present time. The outlook for storage in Green <br />Mountain Reservoir is fair. The only reason it's <br />only fair at this particular time is because we <br />did exhaust the water during the winter to make <br />this repair work. <br /> <br />All other prospects for storage. and storage, <br />in the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, are good <br />and we will have more than 225,000 acre-feet of <br />water available for transport to the project area <br />on the eastern slope during the irrigation season. <br />The Conservancy District has made their declara- <br />tion to their water users and what we call <br />'operation skim' started yesterday, I believe. <br />That operation skim is the utilization of excess <br />eastern slofe flows through the powerplants and <br />curtailment of importations through the Alva B. <br />Adams Tunnel during the time there are such flows <br />in the eastern slope streams. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />We've had considerable activity in the last <br />two months since your last Board meeting on small <br />Projects loans. Not that we have made any or <br />actually received any applications but there has <br />been interest in them and we have received in- <br />quiries from the Big Thompson Soil Conservation <br />District and the Louden Irrigation, Canal and <br />Reservoir Company, that being one particular <br />inquiry. Another inquiry from the Longmont Soil <br />Conservation District and the Left Hand Ditch <br />company and I am going up there tonight to talk <br />with them about it. Another inquiry from the <br />Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company and that <br />involves the Evans #2 Ditch in the South platte <br />Valley and possibly the Stanley Lake Reservoir <br />out in the foothills. We find that this is a new <br />interest in these Small Projects loans, partially <br />
